Support Arrow columnar format v1.4

[spencerwilson]

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.

My initial problem was "I'm not sure what version of the Arrow spec(s) the arrow crate complies with". Documenting the level of support would be great.

After some searching it seems that the arrow crate presently supports "Arrow columnar format version 1.3", as defined here: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/3fe598ae4dfd7805ab05452dd5ed4b0d6c97d8d5/format/Schema.fbs#L20-L26

I'm creating this tracking issue since I didn't see anything about 1.4 by trying obvious searches in GitHub issue search. To be clear, I'm not suffering from a lack of support for 1.4 features currently.

Describe the solution you'd like

Support everything in Arrow columnar format version 1.4. Based on

• apache/arrow@9d6d501, which initially defined 1.4
• apache/arrow@6d551aa, which retroactively added to 1.4

This would include support for

• Implement Run Length Encoding (RLE) / Run End Encoding (REE) support (Epic) #3520
• [EPIC] Implement StringViewArray and BinaryViewArray #5374
• Add ListViewArray and LargeListViewArray #5375

Describe alternatives you've considered

Declare an intention not to support things from 1.4, giving some rationale.

FWIW we don't currently support the array view types for which this functionality was added - #4253

Always happy to review documentation PRs

Filed #5374 to track adding StringViewArray and #5375 to track adding ListViews and I updated the description on this ticket

Similarly, I added a reference to #3520 , where the RunEndEncoded type was actually designated as part of columnar format v1.3.

Closed by #5502, follow on work to flesh out support for ListView and StringViewArray are tracked in #5375 and #5374
